Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 41 - Are You Protecting Her

Mu Yunlie scoffed, “He only got into the Federation Military Academy at the age of twenty, what a waste.”

“Master, that’s actually considered excellent.

The Military Academy’s admission is very strict, the youngest age for this year’s recruits is twenty, and many are close to thirty.”

“The Military Academy’s entry age has gotten so high?”

“Yes, Master.

Ever since you set the assessment standards, the admission rate has been very low over the past few years.”

“Show me his photo.”

The text information on the Light Screen switched to a photo.

In the photo, Qu Yang wore a sports uniform and looked very sunny.

Mu Yunlie stroked his chin, appraising the image, and asked Ah Chang, “What do you think of his looks?”

“Not bad, I suppose.”

“I don’t think much of it.”

“Of course, compared to you, he’s not much to look at.”

“What’s there to fight over?”

“Fight over what?

Master, I am unable to discern the meaning of your words.”

If Ah Chang had a nose, he would probably detect a sour scent in the air at this moment.

“It’s nothing.”

“Vice Officer Pei has sent an audio request.”

Mu Yunlie frowned irritably, “Connect.”

Once the audio connected, Pei Yuexuan’s respectful voice came through, “Lord, are you well?”

Mu Yunlie replied indifferently, “If it’s just a greeting, you can leave.”

“Subordinate has, per your instructions, looked into the accident that happened by the roadside the night before last.”

“And?”

“The two victims died from excessive blood loss after their genitals were mutilated, and the police have yet to find the perpetrator.

Yan Qianyi told the police she woke up in the woods by the roadside.

There was no surveillance on that stretch of road, so the case has made no progress, but I find it very strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“If the motive was to hijack the bride, then why didn’t they take her?

But if someone kindly rescued Yan Qianyi from the robbers, where is that person now?

Could it be her brother?

But I’ve checked; her brother hasn’t been to the Federation Empire recently.”

“What if…

she saved herself?”

Mu Yunlie lifted his eyelids, glancing at a photo on the bedside table.

In the photo, a girl with a bright smile leaned on the shoulder of a handsome boy.

Both of them had a pair of bright, twinkling eyes.

Mu Yunlie’s gaze rested on the boy’s face.

Yan Yao, a man far from ordinary.

And his sister, how could she be just an average person?

“Saved herself?!” Pei Yuexuan couldn’t believe it.

No one would suspect that a frail, vegetative bride could be the perpetrator.

Moreover, Pei Yuexuan had examined the bodies himself.

The wounds indicated that the assailant had been highly skillful.

Quick and brutal, hardly the work of a little girl.

But if…

If Yan Qianyi, as they speculated, had approached the lord with an ulterior motive.

Then it wouldn’t be surprising if she had the capability to do so.

Pei Yuexuan hastily asked, “Lord, do you need to guide the police in their investigation?

After all, the victims were from the Mu Family.”

“No need, you investigate those two first.

If they died a deserved death, let the police close the case; there’s no need to continue the investigation.”

Pei Yuexuan was puzzled, “Lord, by doing this, are you protecting her?”
